The Village Baxter

09/06/2026

A member of the public with an "unusual" sense of humor has posted an Ai photo of a box of dirty false teeth as hard rubbish on a local Facebook noticeboard claiming it was from Village Baxter. I would like to reassure all of our Residents, Staff and families that this is not from our Village.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING MOONEY'S CAFE

1 June 2026

Dear Residents and Staff,
It is with great disappointment that we inform you that this morning, David Mooney notified Village Baxter of the immediate closure of Mooney’s Café.
David has shared that he will be transitioning to a new business model; for personal and family reasons.
The Mooney’s Meals service will continue to provide home delivery of meals to Village Residents; however, the meals will now be prepared in an alternative kitchen. David will be in contact with Residents who had pre-paid their meals or function bookings.
We will provide further information once we have had the opportunity to seek expressions of interest from new catering contractors.

Kind regards,

Leonie McLeod
Village Manager
